Duel at Diablo Page #2

The man who caught my wife alone

will pay, and not just by dying.

-He'll be praying...

-Stop it!

Apaches take revenge that way.

No civilized...

That was no Apache

that killed and scalped my wife.

That was one of your civilized men.

We're heading for Fort Concho

in a couple of days.

I want you to come along.

You just want to be with me

when I catch this man, Dean.

You figure I'll let him die quick and easy

if you're there.

With Tom Van gone, I need a scout.

No.

I've two wagonloads of ammunition

and 25 green troopers.

Colonel Foster needs them in Fort Concho.

What are you bucking for?

I can't afford any mistakes on my record.

I'm going to be a general some day.

I don't remember

you being so damned ambitious.

I'm getting married when I get to Concho.

Sergeant Niebaumer's daughter.

She'll give you hell if I don't get there.

I guess a week or so

won't make any difference.

We ought to bury that, Jess.

After I find the man that took it off her.

Tell the Major, he'll have to wait.

I've got some unfinished business

to take care of.

McAllister said you wanted to kill me.

I don't much like that idea.

I'd rather get it over with now,

if the thought's still in your mind.

It's not.

Are you quite sure?

I said so.

Then I apologize.

I'm sorry. I didn't know.

I know you didn't.

-Let her go.

-Like hell. She tried to steal our horses!

She should be put in jail,

like any horse thief.

No, we won't let her go till she's nice to us,

like she was to those Apaches.

She shouldn't mind us, after all that time

she took pleasuring Chata's son.

I said, let her go.

Sure.

I didn't touch you. I wasn't gonna

do anything to her, just tell her husband.

Don't tell her husband anything.

You just forget it!

All right, I won't, I swear!

I like changing odds.

2-to-1 seemed more of an even bet.

So you saved me again, Mr. Remsberg.

This time you saved my honor.

Only now you know

there's none left to save.

You sound like

I should apologize for butting in.

I didn't ask you to bring me back here.

If the Apaches had taken you captive...

At least the Apaches didn't spit

when I walked past.

-People here treat me like I'm...

-I know.

I had a Comanche wife.

That's different.

No one thinks it's wrong for a man

to take himself an Indian girl

as long as he leaves her behind

when he goes.

I said she was my wife.

I know how they look at you.

I know how they treat you.

One of them finally killed my wife.

Come on, better get you home.

I can understand why you'd want

to run away, Mrs. Grange...

But there's something

you ought to think about.

If you go back to Chata's band,

his son, Nachee...

Will most likely kill you
